Cheep Flight? Stowaway Bird Surprises Passengers on Board United Plane

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No. It’s a bird in a plane. That’s what surprised passengers on board a United Airlines flight departing San Francisco International Airport on September 20. Jasreen Gupta was on the plane, bound for Newark, with her mother when she filmed the spectacle. She said she spotted the bird shortly before takeoff. Gupta posted the video to Twitter, where United asked her to get in touch. United had yet to comment at the time of writing. A United flight from San Francisco to Newark took off at around the time Gupta posted her video, after a 29-minute delay. Credit: Jasreen Gupta via Storyful
